Yes! I’m so glad someone caught the Pokémon reference! As you can tell, I love their design aesthetic; super simple, super minimal amount of actual animation yet clear and legible shapes and character definition.
Glad you stuck through with the game! We’re going to try to fix the bugs and improve the level ramp (and make more levels period) for the next version (whenever gmtk is over and unlocks uploads) so if you’d be willing to be a guinea pig, we’d love to have you try it out!
